Matt White

@Treeandtroll Wales, United Kingdom
Matt White - writer's biography Matt lives in deepest Wales, and he's an award-winning, neurodivergent writer of genre features, TV scripts and short films. His dark comedy feature PAUL DOOD'S DEADLY LUNCH BREAK played at SXSW and Fantasia, and is available on Shudder in the US and SKY in the UK. His latest project is THE SIN-EATER, a BFI-funded Welsh horror short that's just played the international festival circuit. Matt was a member of the 2024 BBC Writers Voices Programme for Wales, and was also part of BIFA Springboard in 2022/23. Matt's comedies, horrors and thrillers are informed by his love of ancient tales and a lifetime spent wrestling with ADHD, for which he's only recently been diagnosed. He writes urgent, unsettling tales about outsiders who are driven and buffeted by forces they don't always understand, but who fight for life and meaning in a way that's universal.
